Its a smooth, responsive, and stable ride. I can make big turns and short quick ones... well, as fast as my 6'6" 210 lbs frame can twist it. We (the board and I) are still figuring each other out. She aims to please. She is determined and dedicated to my every command... with that said, a few times I have over steered her and she followed suite, throwing me a bit. I apologized to her, admitted my fault and we took the next toe side turn a little bit gentler. This is the first board I have had made specific to my needs and stature. I wonder why it has taken me this long to get her. The riding is like... well, "Nirvana"
